Well, perhaps they aren't at the moment. But as for "ever"... the Powerpuff Girls laugh at the notion that they can't break the sound barrier. They've hit LIGHT SPEED before (in the episode "Speed Demon").

Well, they're going fast enough to leave a colored streak. Assuming that the PPG don't also get magical sparkles as they fly, this would imply that they are moving fast enough to be indistinct blurs as they speed past, which means they're going at LEAST 60 mph. Have you ever tried to carry a conversation in a convertible with the top open on the highway? You have to SHOUT AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS. But they're just going "Oh hey, what's up?" not "WHAT IS WRONG, BLOSSOM?!!!"

So, are you suggesting that the colored streaks are, in fact, "magical sparkles", as SharpPointyDeath put it?

In any case, they're just flying home from school, if I'm not mistaken, so they probably don't really need to go that fast. But then again, the aforementioned time where they hit light speed? When they did that, they were... flying home from school >_>

Well, Bubbles DID just have the necessary 1.21 jigawatts zapped into her, didn't she?

(Also, they DID in fact time-travel when they hit light speed. They went 50 years into the future. A bleak future where Him had taken over the world and Townsville lay pretty much in ruins, even. One of the series' darker episodes, really.)

1. The PPG has never exhibited any forcefield ability in previous chapters. They have consistently been able to get swatted out of the sky with directed energy weapons. In canon, where MojoJojo is not capable of signficantly damaging them with directed energy weapons seems to be more due to their maneuvrability then anything else. When they HAVE been hit, they're abnormal toughness COULD be from a forcefield, but it is most likely not possible for a forcefield of their level to cause supercharging of particles. This is due to lightning being supercharged particles and having a temperature of 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit. They do not form lightning, as if this were true they would have basically teleported home.

2. Wavelengths inherently cause shittyness if they are not the same. It's just physically impossible for differing wavelengths of ANYTHING to impact and not cause mass screw up. Unless your light, because that just means you scatter your particles slightly and go with the flow. However, it is conceivable that the forcefield wonks but then stabilizes into a single wavelength when two are combined.

3. They STILL shouldn't be able to talk, because forcefields as per standard fantasy/sci-fi/World of Warcraft science means you can breath in them indefinitely. If forcefields actively repelled air, you'd run out of air rapidly within them during combat. Therefore, they clearly allow air to pass through without hindrance. Thus, the velocity would be unchanged and you'd still have wind.

4. This is too long a post.

Wow, there's a lot going on here besides the obvious electricity puns. o.o For one, Dexter and Blossom finally started to analyze Bell and even considered her a robot created by Mandark. (There's your gynoid reference). At least we now know what's been on Blossom's mind.

That's not entirely true. If you were to take this instance as canon for the PPG, then Blossom can easily form a light trail at slow speeds. There have been instances in the show where they can rise into the air and not leave a trail and others when they do. I think that in this case and a few canon others, the PPG can create a light trail because of an initial burst in speed.

Which is why I added that they would only emit such a light when a slight burst in speed is needed. They can still be moving slow, as you said, and not leave a light trail. It's that initial burst though that creates the light. If they slowed down for any reason, it would go away. If they kept on moving at a constant speed or increased their speed, then it would probably remain lit.

it seems like you're saying that they're only emiting that light because of an initial burst in speed, true they do emit the light if they take off fast but only if they stay fast does the light stick around.
